The Famo Gus Arctic steamer Thetis Beiu:
Fitted Out for q Long Cruise In the Wa
tiers OF Alaska.
NEW YoRK. March 25-Yesterday the
steamer Thetis left the Brooklyn Navy
Yard for Norfolk. She will carry forty
five men of the draft for the United States
steaE;er Ossippee, which is at Portsmouth
Navy Yard. and the United States steamer
Despatch, which will leave about the same
time, VIII carry an equal NUM- Der. The
Thetis Will be remembered as one CT the
vessels of the great Arctic expo litiou, and
is commanded oy Lieutenant Emory,
Jr., who was in charge of the Bear on her
errand Of mercy to the Arctic regions.
She has been thoroughly oyerhauled and
her ultimate destination is Alaskan
waters, where she will cruise three years
to the northward. 1t is expected that she
will reach Norfolk on Saturday and after
being inspected will start for ) IN Fran
cisco. No orders have yet been received.
Under sail ii will take SIX months to reach
the Golden Gate. but if steam is used
she will make it in four months, provid-
ing she makes 1S) miles q day. Siuce 1853
the seal, halibut and cod fisheries arouns
Alaska have had no protection except
such as has been afforded by the revenue
cutter. The Bear, which is now q reve nue.
cutter, is stationed at St Michaels, off the
month Of the Yullon River, and goes into
the Arctic TO protect the whaling feet.
There are about one hundred vessels en-
gaged in that business, and besides
cruising in Behring strait, the Thetis
will assist Governor Swineford of Alaska
in establishing civil authority in the great
Northwest purchase. She has her full
com plement Of eighty-six men, ten ap-
prentices and nine commissioned officers.
The vessel is well adapted for an Arctic
cruise, as she was well equipped whale,
when the Government purchased her in
1854, for the relief expedition, and had
then only seen service for three years.
General Greedy, the new United States
Signal Serv.ce chief, came over from
Washington with Lieutenant Morse yes
terday morning and paid visit to the
steamer and inspected the berth he occu-
pied on the way home after his rescue
from the Arctic regions. The length Of
the Thetis is 1874 feet over all, beam .9
feet and draught 115. Her main royal
truck is 139 feet high, and she is
b,rk-rigged with engines of 800
horse power. Where the three years
supplies on the Greely expedition
were stored, is now the berth deck of the
ship and 'he quarters Of the thirty-twO
men of the relief expedition have be.n
transformed into the officers quarters.
She carries two steam launches, and the
steam cutter Achilles, a new boat OF im-
proved pattern just addeI. The Thetis
carries 400 tons of ccal, Gad is likely to
play an important part in the organization
of Alaska Territory, besides being of ln-
calculable benefit to the venturesome
whalers in the ice bound sea.

Many farmers place great stress on the
power of clover to restore the fertility OF
the soil II does this by taking carbon
from the atmosphere and causing elements
in the soil to assume organic shape. 1t is
aided in this process by its roots, which
penetrate great distance, and thus tighten
I'D the soil. 1t is a disputed question
whether the plowing-in of clover is the
most satisfactory and economical method
of enriching the soil, bat the practice is
quite common in many localities.
Here is the way the large strawberries
are produced. Apply heavy dressing OF
manure OF two parts each Of murate OF

Only One Missing.

BUFFALO, n. Y. March 25.-Yesterday
afternoon workmen at the ruins of the Rich
mond Hotel found the ledger or rOOm-boOk
of the hotel, which contained the names Of
all the guests. This book was copied from
the day register and was fully entered up
on the morning of the fire. II shows the
name of every guest in the building on the
fatal morning. Though badly charred

of preservation and the entries fortunately
are all legible down to the last made. 1t
was taken to the police headquarters, where
it was carefully examined with special ref
erence to the names OF those reported miss
ing among the guests. The result was that
the only name found in the book among
those given as missing was that Of Robert

on the side adjoining the museum The DIS
covery removes the last doubt as TO Boyd's
fate. and also settles the fact that all the
dead men have been accounted for.

is to prevent Nelson's supporters from levy

COLONEL LAMONT, speaking the other
day in regard TO the Presidents health,
Eaid that the fears recently expressed
by DR.. Sewers were not shared by the
Presidents family and his intimate
friends. The President was to all ap-
pearances in perfect health. The
Colonel did not think DIR. Sewers was
in a position to judge of the matter, as
he did not know the President, and
what he said was based on the assump-
ton that the President was gaining
flesh and took no exercise, whereas this
was not the case, as the President
weighed less than when he tlrst came
TO Washington, and really took rs much
exercise as most men. 1t was true he
did not walk about the city. but he
frequently walked in the country, and
there was other ways in which he got
exercise. Altogether the President was
in good condition and there was no rea-
son for apprehension in regard to his

In the case of the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis G Omaha Railway Com
pany, the Secretary of the Interior has
declined to concur in the recommends
ton of the Commissioner of the Gen.
ers,l Land Office that the company be
enjoined from cutting and disposing of
timber from its unapproved selected
lands in the State of Wisconsin within
its indemnity limits; which selection
has not yet been approved because of
the non-coInpletion of the road within
the time limited by the granting act,
though fully completed since that time.
The Secretary holds that, the road
having been completed and Congress
having failed to declare a forfeiture of
the grant, the company is entitled to
Its full benefit. The Secretary directs
the Commissioner to forthwith adjust
the said grant and transmit for ap-
proyal proper lists of lands selected
and subject to selection by the COM
pany within the indemnity limits of
the grant
